I don’t understand how most people still consider CNN “centrist”. They turned pretty sharply to the right in mid/late 2022 with the leadership change and the policies that brought in. Not as bad as Fox, of course, but that bar is basically underground.

Many people still think it's leftist! Not smart people, but they are technically people.

And unfortunately, they can and do vote :/

Can we downgrade them to Cro-Magnon?

[-] eestileib@sh.itjust.works 20 points 2 months ago

Agreeing to this interview on CNN was the first truly stupid thing the Harris team has done imo.

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

Perceptions last for a long time.

[-] rayyy@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

CNN = Fox lite

[-] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

At this point, yeah, more or less.

I agree, yet Media Bias/Fact Check continues to list it as left-center.

MBFC is essentially based on the judgement call of a single person, which is why I absolutely would not treat it as gospel.

I mean, the obvious question:

"Mr. Trump, why are you afraid to be on camera with your VP pick, like you were when you did your first interview with Mike Pence?"

[-] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 39 points 2 months ago

Every time these bozos try to insult Walz they just make him sound better lol

Oh noes, this guy is emotionally supportive whatever will we do?

[-] Infynis@midwest.social 21 points 2 months ago

Republicans call Tim Walz a golden retriever (derogatory) lmao

Dehumanization involves viewing opponents as less than human, often to justify inhumane treatment.

[-] BlucifersVeinyAnus@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 months ago

I’m starting to think these guys really don’t like Harris and Walz

[-] Nougat@fedia.io 16 points 2 months ago

God that fucking guy. He's three turds in a trenchcoat.

[-] harrys_balzac@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago

Wow. What have turds ever done to you?

[-] Blackout@fedia.io 14 points 2 months ago

Some people just cannot respect women, no matter how much education and training they get. No one would ever use this analogy with Biden.

The trailing apostrophe is for plural possessives. When a noun or proper noun ends in S naturally, you still use the same construction.

GET IT RIGHT PEOPLE:

Harris’s

[-] Tyfud@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

TIL, thank you, this rule always bugged me to remember.

[-] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

At least they were “slammed.” A reputable news org wouldn’t have weird pundits like this on at all.

[-] PrincessLeiasCat@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago

Bitch we all know her emotional support animal is a cat just like every other civilized human being and you will respect that.
